Scan­di­navi­an UFO Infor­ma­tion (SUFOI) is the oldest, acti­ve asso­ci­a­tion that deals with the UFO myth in Den­mark. Sin­ce 1957 the asso­ci­a­tion has col­lected about 18,000 reports of UFO expe­ri­en­ces.

The many years of work have led to the con­clu­sion that the­re are many natu­ral and mun­da­ne expla­na­tions for peop­le’s UFO expe­ri­en­ces and that the repor­ted mate­ri­al in no way indi­ca­te that the Earth gets visits from outer spa­ce.

Stu­di­es made by SUFOI and others show that UFO expe­ri­en­ces tells more about human sen­ses, beliefs and per­for­man­ce – than on spa­ce and any ali­ens. This is well docu­men­ted in the book 50 years with UFOs – Con­clu­sions of 50 years’ report inve­sti­ga­tion (SUFOI 2007). The book is writ­ten by SUFOI Vice Presi­dent Toke Haun­strup showing through exem­plary cases from SUFOI’s com­pre­hen­si­ve report archi­ve that it is most like­ly that UFO expe­ri­en­ces can be explai­ned by a com­bi­na­tion of psychological‑, soci­al and cul­tu­ral con­di­tions in com­bi­na­tion with mis­per­cep­tion.

Today the main busi­ness of SUFOI is the infor­ma­tion work, which con­cen­tra­tes on the web­s­i­te ufo.dk and dia­logue with the public. The asso­ci­a­tion has assu­med an educa­ti­ve role and is trying to be a coun­terweight to the many faci­le and cra­zy sto­ri­es onli­ne, part­ly through infor­ma­tion work on ufo.dk, part­ly through UFO-Mail and publi­ca­tions.

On ufo.dk the public can report UFO expe­ri­en­ces and later read if others have obser­ved somet­hing at the same time or pla­ce and pos­sibly alre­a­dy read an expla­na­tion for the obser­va­tion.

Alt­hough the work of SUFOI has led to the con­clu­sion that we are not visi­ted by ali­ens or other beings from out­si­de the Earth the asso­ci­a­tion con­ti­nu­es to stu­dy the UFO myth. First­ly, we are inte­r­e­sted to learn more about what ordi­nary peop­le expe­ri­en­ce and why they inter­pret sky pheno­me­na (aircraft, fla­res, hot air bal­loons, dro­nes, mete­o­rs, bur­ning debris, moon, stars, etc.) as visits from outer spa­ce. Second­ly, we want to con­ti­nue to ana­lyze and inter­pret the deve­l­op­ment of the UFO myth.

SUFOI has the fol­lowing objecti­ves and vision:

SUFOI’s Objecti­ves

Scan­di­navi­an UFO Infor­ma­tion is an orga­niza­tion that provi­des the public with well-foun­ded infor­ma­tion on the UFO myth, as well as details about the pheno­me­na that can cre­a­te UFO expe­ri­en­ces.

By UFO myth Scan­di­navi­an UFO Infor­ma­tion means the reports, expe­ri­en­ces and ideas asso­ci­a­ted with the term “UFO“, which deve­l­op over time in tan­dem with histo­ri­cal and cul­tu­ral con­di­tions. The word “UFO“ itself was ori­gi­nal­ly an abbre­vi­a­tion for “Uni­den­ti­fied Flying Object“, but is regar­ded today by Scan­di­navi­an UFO Infor­ma­tion as an umb­rel­la term for the many diver­se pheno­me­na that can be inclu­ded in reports of unusu­al aeri­al acti­vi­ty.

SUFOI’s Vision

It is Scan­di­navi­an UFO Infor­ma­tion’s vision to:

  • explain about all the pheno­me­na that can cre­a­te UFO expe­ri­en­ces
  • provi­de the public with well-foun­ded infor­ma­tion on the many aspects of the UFO myth
  • use the acqui­red know­led­ge and exper­ti­se to provi­de a balan­ced view of myth-cre­at­ing pheno­me­na
